CNN must be bipolar because it had an Electoral College rundown that
rather contradicts the poll everyone is screaming about tonight. They said this morning that Bush was ahead in the electoral college votes (showed the numbers) but then really emphasized that if just one close state like Ohio or Missouri (their words)fell to Kerry, that Kerry would decisively win. That suggests to me that regardless of the "bounce", the individual states are staying pretty much in place. That Electoral College 'map' was like that in several reports in weeks leading up to the convention. (They certainly this a.m., anyhow, weren't pointing to some states that just went over to the Bush side.) I think the big, big issue here (and it doesn't sound from what you report here this evening that Mary Cahill handled things very well today)is that we do not LET the media spin this shit because that and that alone could turn things permanently downward for Kerry. I was actually hoping for better with Joe Lochardt aboard handling the media. This needed to be handled all day and in the coming weeks. There are 3 major campaigns out there, you know: Kerry/Edward, Bush/Cheney and the Media's Campaign to put Bush, the King of Kings, back on the throne. We can kick shit out of the Sockpuppet/Mr. Evil duo; but, by God, our worst campaign challenge are these whores who will tell the people WHO to vote for (watch out for the debates and these pigs)!

1. I find it odd that
all the time Kerry was leading in the electoral college, they never mentioned it. Now suddenly it is news. Well, obviously I know it is not odd...but once again, shame on them.

2. I agree with much of what
you say, though your misuse of the word "bipolar" is unfortunate. Perhaps you could rapidly edit it.
